Once again, I have not been disappointed by Jane Casey; she has delivered and written an excellent book that I really enjoyed. Great story line that is full of suspense and keeps you enthralled. The characters are fantastic and believable; I particularly like the working relationship between Kerrigan and Derwent which comes across as being very genuine. Highly recommended read to anyone and you don't have to have read the previous books in the series as this holds up as a stand-alone however, I would suggest you do as you won't be disappointed.

A massive thank you to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

nope nope and nope i just couldn't force myself to read past the second chapter. i read fast and lose myself in a book but the fact that i could easily be distracted my lint instead of reading this book told me there was no point in going forward. The ending of the first book had me wanting to read this second one but the first chapter had me putting it back down for good. yes there was quite a bit of sex but the story line wasn't gripping me enough just found it bland i need dark n dangerous and this just isn't it sorry

"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his death ... and the rest of us straight to hell"
1990 'Brat pack' western movie, purporting to tell a fictionalised retelling of the last days of William H Boney aka Billy the Kid, shot down by the sheriff Pat Garrett.

I have no idea how much of this is fictionalised n and how much is fact: I do know that sheriff Pat Garrett is supposed to have shot Billy the Kid in the back, but as for the backstory that he used to ride with him ...?

Anyway, this now shows its age, although the soundtrack is as great as ever!

Ten Cents a Pound by Nhung N. Tran-Davies is a short, poetic, back-and-forth conversation between a mother and daughter. This is the story of a unnamed young girl whose mother is working hard so that her daughter may have a better life. It tells many stories within the pages that are filled with heart warming illustrations. It is the story of a mother's love, of hope, determination, a child's love and concern for her mother and for the giving of each, so that they may both be safe, and happy.
The book simultaneously draws attention to the difficulties of living with low wages, while optimistically looking forward to the opportunities and possibilities of the future due to education.
The lovely illustrations are both realistic and wistful, and while this story may require some additional explanations for young children, it paints a beautiful picture of determination and potential.

I received a ARC from Second Story Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

I give this book 4/5 stars.
